Could aStar Trekfilm be the last oneQuentin Tarantinoends his career on? It’s possible.

“I guess I do have a loophole, [if] the idea was to throw a loophole into it,” Tarantino said. “Which would be [to go], ‘Uhhh, I guessStar Trekdoesn’t count. I can doStar Trek, but naturally, I would end on an original.’”

He continued, “But the idea of doing 10 isn’t to come up with a loophole. I actually think, if I was going to doStar Trek, I should commit to it.”

“It’s my last movie. There should be nothing left-handed about it,” Tarantino added. “I don’t know if I’m going to do that, but itmighthappen.”

Tarantino’s acclaimed career has comprised solely of original works so far, fromReservoir Dogs, Pulp Fictionand now to his ninth installmentOnce Upon a Time in Hollywood— all of which he has written, too.

The director explained if he did direct aStar Trekfilm it would be an opportunity to see what his career could have been like had he focused on franchises.

“There also is another thought process going on where it’s like, yes [my last movie] could be original,” Tarantino said. “On the other hand, maybe that could show a different career I could’ve had. Whereas maybe [Once Upon a Time in Hollywood] is my last original — I’m not saying that’s the case — but maybe this is my last original, andStar Trekor any other thing, a book or something like this, is the career I could have had if I wasn’t just writing everything all the time.”

Once Upon a Timein Hollywoodcenters around actor Rick Dalton and his stunt double Cliff Booth, both of whom struggle to find a place in the industry as the 60s end.

The film starsBrad Pitt,Leonardo DiCaprio, Margot Robbie, Al Pacino among several others.
